The Philadelphia Phillies have no plans in letting closer Brad Lidge rush himself back this time. Yesterday, Lidge was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactively to March 21st (the last major league game in which he appeared). This makes him eligible to return to the team on April 5th, only a few days into regular season. The move came after Lidge's shaky outing versus a team of minor leaguers where he loaded the bases but got out of the jam with a double play to end the inning.

The Phillies were hopeful that Brad Lidge would start the season healthy enough to contribute right away, but it's not going to happen. Lidge was placed on the 15 day disabled list, retroactive to March 21st, meaning the first day he could be activated would be for the sixth game of the season, April 6th against the Reds. Lidge is still dealing with knee issues, and he hasn&...

Today Inky staff writer Don McKee's Morning Report featured the "Best and worst of Phillies outfielders."
QUITE FRANKLY, McKee didn't hold back one iota. In conversing with our friends at The 700 Level, we agreed that it's about time we saw some biting Phils coverage in an otherwise tame spring.

Carlos Ruiz
Carson - .271-10-61 - I see him becoming a reliable backstop in terms of defense and handling the pitching staff, as well as turning into a quality 8-hole hitter. He has decent speed for a catcher, so mix in 5 steals and 65 runs scored.
Corey - .277-9-57 - With more big league at-bats, should see average eventually climb to the .280 range. I don't see the power...

Cole Hamels
Carson - 16-8 3.55 - He has amazing stuff, there's no questioning that. However, I do question his motivation and fortitude sometimes.
Corey - 15-6 3.67 - Won't pitch enough games (back? elbow?) to win 20. Will lead the team in complaining about non-issues and chiropractic visits.
Brett Myers
Carson - 17-9 3.88 - He's the staff's workhorse and will...

March 25, 2008
The Phillies made three more player moves today, cutting their camp roster down to 27 players. Pitcher Travis Blackley, a Rule 5 pick, was placed on waivers. Vic Darensbourg and Gary Knotts, a pair of journeymen relievers, were reassigned to the minor league camp. None of these moves comes as a surprise, although there had been some rumblings at Beerleaguer.com that Darensbourg was...

The Hardball Times posted a great article today that looks back on the Phillies trade of Bobby Abreu to the Yankees back in July 2006. Now that 20 months have passed since the trade, the article weighs in on the impact for both teams and comes to the conclusion that there was no real winner. While the Yankees got the better players (don't forget the late Cory Lidle was part of...

Converted closer Brett Myers seems to be enjoying his return to being a starter. In Grapefruit League play today, Myers pitched 5 shutout innings, giving up only 2 hits and striking out 3, to lead the Phillies over the Yankees, 4-0.
In other pitching news, Kris Benson has decided to remain with the team despite the fact the Phillies decided not to add him to their 40 man roster.

Phillies Baseball is Upon us Again, And Pitching Still Worries Me
A mere couple stands between the Phillies and the season opener. The off-season action has been moderate, and the Phillies are set to jump into 2008 season. But the pitching staff still has me on edge. Yes Myers is going to be in the starting rotation, and yes Hamels is set to be a star in this league, but what about 3, 4, and 5 and the bullpen.
Kyle Kendrick did a great job last...
